Comment on Hopefully, Next Year by David Bernstein https://findingourselvesinbiblicalnarratives.net/2020/05/11/hopefully-next-year/comment-page-1/#comment-6430
Mon, 11 May 2020 21:19:21 +0000http://findingourselvesinbiblicalnarratives.net/?p=4790#comment-6430Rabbi, the respect and admiration you engender, your knowledge, insight and ability to articulate your message is I think the reason you are so welcomed wherever you & Vickie go and in Germany particularly. Suggest you contemplate Vickie & your achievements and your extraordinary success and good fortune until the doors open again.

A term from the lexicon of psycho-analysis immediately is brought to my mind, that being “love transference” …
A term from our forty- (40-) year desert trek succeedingly surfaces in my mind, that being Shechinah (“enveloping care”) …
And I also — in my expanding and growing capacity regarding our shared Modern Hebrew language — discovered only (literally) moments ago the term “Beth-mokad” (the place of the focus–fire-hearth–epicenter).

Very much a [beautiful] instance of the time-less metaphor of the artist-and-the-clay. Your mother was a gifted artist, Rabbi, and her artworks beautiful.

When we looked out for our neighbour and beyond
Take us back Eternal One
When we worshipped you with full and loving hearts
Take us forward Eternal One
When we’ve regained what we lost
Forward bearing a new earned and learned way of being
That has little be for You and our fellow man at its centre

Comment on Especially Now, People Are Asking: by David Bernstein https://findingourselvesinbiblicalnarratives.net/2020/04/22/especially-now-people-are-asking/comment-page-1/#comment-6340
Wed, 22 Apr 2020 19:04:16 +0000http://findingourselvesinbiblicalnarratives.net/?p=4777#comment-6340My question is a bit different. It may possibly change the answer. It is a question I struggle with. “What is the purpose of God?” If God gives us free will and essentially stands aside as things, good and awful, happen, what value does God provide? May seem an inappropriate question since it seems to imply the God is a “commodity” and is judged only by “added value”. But if value, positive & negative, is not the means by which everything is weighed, then how else do we show God as being in our lives. Isn’t it a valid question to ask?

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 20:22:04 +0000http://findingourselvesinbiblicalnarratives.net/?p=4770#comment-6332A professor of philosphy in Cambridge, MA, USA, both was — as well as still is — noted for a quote that of which was relayed to him via one of his patient-clients. The patient-client was a former Auschwitz-Birkenau captive, and this quote was reported to have been on the walls of a location in the interior: ….

Quote:

“Those who cannot remember the past, … are condemned to repeat it.”

~ George Santayana, Ph.D., Harvard U; Cambridge, MA, USA

(P.S.: Sourced from the walls of Auschwitz-Birkenau)

If only larger numbers would realize the value that history holds for us.

Tue, 21 Apr 2020 20:11:24 +0000http://findingourselvesinbiblicalnarratives.net/?p=4770#comment-6331And so it is….that on Yom Ha-Shoah, we not only recall
with reverence the memory of those who perished in The Holocaust, and honor the memory of those who suffered, yet somehow survived the years spent in German concentration camps; but also that do all that we are able to teach by our example, this and future generations, to live in a world without hatred, prejudice, and bigotry; one with caring, kindness and love toward each other.

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 16:48:45 +0000http://findingourselvesinbiblicalnarratives.net/?p=4762#comment-6325What an apt piece for this Yom Ha-Shoah, Rabbi!
Those brave souls who survived the Holocaust never gave up hope. They believed that somehow, some way, they would manage to cling to life until their daily nightmare was over .
In the same way today, we should feel confident that in the foreseeable future, our lives will return to what will become” the new normal.” For that we give thanks to The Eternal One, and we are grateful to have been given the ability and the responsibility to help make our world a better, kinder, and more compassionate place for us all.
Thank you, Rabbi, for your beautiful teachings and for being a cherished and wise spiritual leader.
